Scheduling optimisation of alcohol test sites

Abstract Drink driving is an infamous factor in road crashes and fatalities.Alcohol testing is a major countermeasure, and random breath tests (RBTs) deter tested SUNGLASSES drivers and passersby (observers who are not tested).We propose a genetic algorithm (GA)-based RBT scheduling optimisation method to achieve maximal deterrence of drink driving

A new mouse model of radiation-induced liver disease reveals mitochondrial dysfunction as an underlying fibrotic stimulus

Background & Stockings Aims: High-dose irradiation is an essential tool to help control the growth of hepatic tumors, but it can cause radiation-induced liver disease (RILD).This life-threatening complication manifests itself months following radiation therapy and is characterized by fibrosis of the pericentral sinusoids.In this study, we aimed
